Chapter 107 Li Nian and the Alchemist


Chapter 107 Li Nian and the Alchemists

Glancing at the other alchemists who were still alive, Ying Zheng saw murderous intent in his eyes. If he had not promised Li Nian to spare the lives of these alchemists, he would have killed them all now.

Looking back to the corpse of Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, since the living alchemist will not be killed for the time being, let's take it out on these two people.

Ying Zhengdao: "Death so soon will be an advantage to these two shameless men. I hope they can survive a little longer. But do you think you can escape punishment by dying?"
< br>"Hang their corpses on the city tower and spread their deeds to the world. From now on, whoever dares to make elixirs and seek immortality in our Daqin territory will be killed immediately if found out!"

If this matter spreads, it may be spread by some thoughtful people that he is persecuting alchemists, preventing others from seeking immortality, and only wants to enjoy the immortality alone, which will have the same impact as Li Nian's "burning books and entrapping Confucianism" in history.

But, so what?

He is the king of Qin and the lord of the world. He is timid in everything, so why should he be an emperor?

The world belongs to him, not to him.

Today, he will let out the bad breath in his heart!

Looking at the other living alchemists, Ying Zheng said: "Originally, you and others should be treated like Lu Shenghou, but someone once interceded for you and said that you and others could still be used in the Qin Dynasty, so I spared your lives."

Is anyone interceding for them?

Who is it?

Is it Mr. Fusu who is famous for his benevolence and virtuousness?

The alchemist who was kneeling on the ground did not dare to look up, but he guessed in his heart that no matter who it was, he was their savior. It seemed that they did not have to die like Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng.

"As for the person who pleads for you, you will see him soon. Remember, you must respect him. Whatever he asks you to do, you must do it, even if he asks you to die!"

"If anyone dares to despise and humiliate him and let others know about it, this will be the fate of the two of them! Do you understand?"

The alchemists all dared to answer no, and they all kowtowed to Ying Zheng. First: "The guilty minister understands, the guilty minister understands, thank you for your kindness!"

Ying Zheng nodded and ordered: "Groom them up, rest for two days, and send them to Liuying Palace. "

Two days later, Li Nian suddenly received a group of alchemists from Ying Zheng. After walking out of the hall, he saw a group of people wearing coarse linen clothes and handcuffs and anklets.

As soon as he saw him, he understood what was going on. The First Emperor must have listened to his reminder and went back to do experiments, which proved that there was something wrong with the elixir refined by the alchemists, and something happened to the alchemists.

Seeing Li Nian walk out, all the alchemists knelt down and kowtowed to Li Nian: "Thank you, Master, for saving our lives. You are so kind to me. We will tie a grass ring and sacrifice our lives to repay him!"< br>
Li Nian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that these alchemists probably thought that he had saved them from the First Emperor's butcher's knife.

Unfortunately, what they didn’t know was that they could have been enjoying life in the palace for several years. It was because of his reminder that they were reduced from noble alchemists seeking immortality to prisoners today.

But if you think about it more carefully, although he tricked these alchemists, he did save their lives. Otherwise, when Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng happened, they would be tricked and killed by the First Emperor.

At this time, a chamberlain handed Li Nian a scroll of bamboo slips. After reading it, Li Nian knew what happened to these alchemists.

'The First Emperor's treatment of the alchemists in this way did reflect the anger and hatred of the alchemists, but he also wanted to remove the thorns in them and establish an image of a benefactor for me in the hearts of the alchemists so that I could manage them more conveniently. . Li Nian handed the bamboo slips back to the chamberlain and looked at the alchemists kneeling at the bottom of the steps. There were only sixty-three alchemists alive, and most of them were dead. He said: "Everyone, get up!"

"Thank you, Master!"

After the sixty-three alchemists thanked them, they stood up one by one. No one dared to raise their head, and they all stood quietly, waiting for Li Nian's next step. Order.

The experiences of the past few days have caused a big psychological change in these alchemists. They were originally noble alchemists seeking immortality in the palace. They were well-liked and respected by people, but they fell down and were imprisoned in the wooden cage. They were forced to eat soup made from dead rats and chickens, just like animals waiting to be slaughtered.

If this mysterious young master hadn’t rescued them from the sea of ​​misery, we still don’t know what would have happened next, whether it was about seeking immortality and making elixirs, or about glory and wealth. It would be better to live.

Li Niandao: "You don't have to be so cautious. I won't hide it from you. In fact, I asked you to come from the king because I took a fancy to your talents in alchemy."

The alchemists standing at the foot of the steps. He remained motionless, but murmured in his heart: This person has taken a fancy to their talent in alchemy?

But the king no longer believes in their alchemy skills, and judging from the death of Lu Shenghou Sheng, there is really something wrong with the elixirs they refined.

Li Nian continued: "Of course, what I value is not that you can refine elixirs that can make people become immortals. You can't do that. I don't believe there are immortals or elixirs in the world. What I value is that you can make elixirs in the process. ”

"For example, when refining elixirs, have you ever discovered that after adding certain materials, the color of the flame will change, crackle, or even explode?"

None of the alchemists spoke, thinking about this person. Is the young master also an alchemist? At least he is someone who understands the way of the foreign warriors.

"Anyone who has encountered this kind of situation when refining alchemy can come out and talk about it, just as I am discussing with you alchemists."

After thinking about it, this is them. Their savior, since he fished them out from King Qin's butcher's knife, he shouldn't harm them. Otherwise, why plead for them, wouldn't it be better to just let them die?

Thinking of this, a young alchemist took the lead and stood up: "Back to the master, I once encountered the color change of the flame that the master mentioned. At that time, I threw in a piece of calamine, and the flame suddenly turned blue-green."

With this young alchemist taking the lead, the His alchemists were also more courageous, and gradually came forward to talk about the various strange phenomena they encountered while refining alchemy. Some encountered strange fog, some saw strange lights, and some smelled strange fragrances...

After listening to these alchemists, Li Nianxiao asked: "It seems that everyone has encountered You have experienced visions, but have you ever thought about the reason why these visions appear?”

Without waiting for the alchemists to answer, Li Nian said again: “I know you must be thinking that these visions are pills that take over the world? Good fortune, so that heaven and earth feel it, and only then can disasters or calamities be brought about by good fortune. . ”

“But is there another possibility? There are no immortals exerting force in the dark, and there is no feeling from heaven and earth. These phenomena are just phenomena that exist between heaven and earth. As long as we know the reason for their formation, We can reproduce it too.”

This made many alchemists freeze in place and ponder. Some alchemists opened their mouths to refute what Li Nian said, but they did not dare to think that Li Nian was their savior and King Qin had severely warned them.

Even if they had different ideas in their hearts and did not agree with Li Nian's words, the alchemists did not dare to speak out.

Li Nian naturally knew what the alchemists were thinking. He could not persuade these people with words alone. He planned to do a few experiments to open the eyes of these alchemists and speak with truth.

Before it was put on the shelves, it was updated at 12:30. Recently, I got stones, so it was updated at 18:00. My current condition is okay, except for the soreness in my lower back. The pain will no longer occur this week, so I should be fine. One more word here, everyone, please try not to get stones, this thing really hurts!
